Molex EasyLock D-Sub connector backshells
Molex announces 173111, 173112 series
Innovative and efficient EasyLock backshells are D-sub backshells that enable fast, single-handed, push-in locking without requiring tools or screw assembly. These backshells accelerate plugging and unplugging operations, help ensure secure locking, simplify maintenance and provide reliable operation in applications that are subject to shock, vibration and extreme temperatures.
Features
- Delivers fast, tool-free mating
- The push-to-lock design with quick-disconnect latch screws eliminates the need for traditional screw-in attachment, reducing the time required for plugging and unplugging
- Minimizes design constraints
- Vertical and angled cable-exit options, shock and vibration certification, and a broad operating temperature range improve versatility and support a wide range of applications
- Reduces electronic noise effects
- Shielded versions help filter EMI and improve performance in dense or noisy environments where signal integrity is critical
- Supports assembly in tight spaces
- The EasyLock design features a large pull section that enables single-handed plugging and unplugging without tools, simplifying installation in space-constrained applications
- Simplifies inventories and mitigates assembly challenges
- The backshell design eliminates screw assembly of the hood, reducing assembly time and bill-of-material complexity
- Reduces weight
- The EasyLock housing weighs less than traditional metal backshells, making it suitable for weight-sensitive applications
